* How does no-one see the Dalek fight, or the Daleks themselves in broad daylight? Surely someone would have seen them or heard the shots? ''People have been evacuated as stated by Captain Gilmore'' | * How does no-one see the Dalek fight, or the Daleks themselves in broad daylight?

*Why didn't the Imperial Daleks just take the Special Weapons Dalek with them in the first place? ''The novelisation states that the Special Weapons Dalek is only used in extreme situations, presumabley the Imperials thought it was an 'extreme situation' when they were losing against the renegades.

* When asked if the disorienting device he built on [[Spiridon]] in [[Planet of the Daleks]] was effective, the Doctor replies that it did 'absolutely nothing'. But it was effective.

The Doctor replies to a question about what will the device do saying that it will 'at best' disorientate and weaken the daleks, commenting that he rigged something like it on Spiridon.

* The Doctor deplores violence, commenting that weapons are 'useless in the end'. Yet he has no compunction about destroying an entire planet, especially considering that [[Skaro]] is not only the Dalek homeworld, but home to the [[Thals]] as well. ''It's possible in the time the Doctor sends the Hand of Omega to, the Daleks have completely exterminated the Thals, or maybe the Thals have left the planet.'' ''(He himself does not fire the weapon, the Daleks do. He has simply set it to be used defensively so that if they do indeed fire it, it will essentially backfire and destroy their own homeworld instead of the intended target.)'' | * The Doctor deplores violence, commenting that weapons are 'useless in the end'.
